FOREWORD 

^T^HE  Museum  of  French  Art  was  founded  in  New  York  in 
I  December,  1911.  It  is  national  in  its  scope  and  was  the 
first  expression  in  the  United  States  of  the  Institut 
Franqais  AUX  Etats-Unis  —  a  movement  started  in  Paris  in 
June,  1911,  by  distinguished  citizens  of  France  and  the  United 
States  to  promote  a  wider  knowledge  of  France,  her  language, 
her  literature,  her  sciences  and  her  arts. 

The  Museum  is  the  Art  Section  of  the  Institut  Franeais  aux 
Etats-Unis ;  its  members  have  also  the  privileges  of  the  Science 
Section  of  the  ''Institute"  (The  Entente  France-America  — 
Commerce,  Industry  and  Science  Society,  Inc.)  and  of  the  Lit- 
erary Section  of  the  ''Institut"  (The  French  Union). 

The  "Institut"  aims  to  be  a  center  in  the  United  States  for 
those  w^ho  are  attracted  by  the  French  language  and  literature, 
French  drama  and  music,  French  science,  and  by  the  artistic, 
natural  and  architectural  beauties  of  France.  It  appeals  to  all 
those  who  desire  to  increase  the  economic  relations  between  the 
two  countries. 

The  Museum  is  making  collections  in  the  various  branches 
of  French  Art  (painting,  sculpture,  engraving,  numismatics, 
ceramics,  laces,  textiles,  furniture,  etc.)  ;  it  is  assembling  a  ref- 
erence library  covering  the  Art,  Science,  Literature  and  History 
of  France,  and  a  circulating  French  library  of  fiction,  etc. ;  it 
is  bringing  from  France  distinguished  lecturers  (through  the 
revenues  of  the  John  Sanford  Saltus  Foundation)  ;  it  is  furnish- 
ing free  of  cost  a  practical  knowledge  of  French  Arts  and  Crafts 
and  of  the  French  language  to  workers;  it  is  stimulating  higher 

7 


standards  in  taste ;  it  is  extending-  a  knowledge  of  French  music 
and  literature. 

The  Museum  is  supported  entirely  b}^  voluntary  contribu- 
tions; it  seeks  large  endowments;  it  needs  gifts  for  its  col- 
lections and  an  increase  of  membership  to  help  defray  its  run- 
ning expenses,  to  which  its  trustees  are  contributing;  these 
expenses  are  rapidly  increasing  as  its  usefulness  is  enlarged. 

The  ''Institut"  is  extending  its  work  in  large  centers  of  the 
United  States  as  fast  as  opportunities  and  its  revenues  will 
permit ;  it  seeks  the  co-operation  of  all  public-spirited  citizens ; 
it  appeals  to  all  friends  of  France. 

The  Loan  Exhibition  of  the  Arts  of  France  which  is  now 
offered  to  the  public  contains  objects  from  the  collections  of  the 
life  members  of  the  Institute,  as  well  as  from  other  private  col- 
lections of  the  City  of  New  York,  many  of  which  have  never 
been  exhibited  before.  The  Exhibition  is  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Institute's  Building  Fund.  The  preliminary  floor  plans  for  the 
Entrance  and  Library  floors  of  the  new  building  will  be  found 
in  this  catalogue.
